Battle of the Sexes

August 12, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 3 Comments

Yes, I’m old enough to recall watching the televised match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, back in 1973. Touted as “The Battle of the Sexes” and seemingly a symbol of Woman-Beating-Back-Male-Braggadocio, Billie Jean, then 29, crushed Bobby in three straight sets. He was 55. Looking back, the theatrical aspects and the terminology tossed […]

Hot Dogs and French Open (and French Men?)

May 28, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

Et si je disais que je m’occupais de “chiens chauds” et de Roland Garros? If I were to say that this weekend is dedicated to the pursuit of as much French Open Tennis as I can manage (on television, sadly) – and the occasional hot dog? Isn’t that a glorious combo? Might we mix the […]

Tiger Spit

February 15, 2011 by D. A. Wolf 18 Comments

So where do you stand when it comes to the great Tiger Divide? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, there are numerous news items addressing Tiger Woods’ most recent indiscretion – spitting on the green in Sunday’s PGA tournament. Many golfers – and onlookers – took offense at the act, sizing it up […]

A beautiful day for… US Open Tennis

September 11, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 2 Comments

It’s a sunny day in New York City. Not too hot. A bit of wind. And eyes on US Open Tennis. The semi-finals (Roger Federer, Novac Djokovic) and later, the Women’s Finals (Kim Clijsters, Vera Zvonareva). What happened to Roger in the second set? After a vigorous first (Federer, 7-5), the second seemed to slip […]

Winning (when it counts)

July 4, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

Winners and losers. Isn’t that how most people view the world? And usually, the “win” involves money, a title, and stuff. Along with the spoils of winning come reassurances that the basics in life will be taken care of, and a great deal more: satisfaction in your accomplishments, the realization of a dream, and maybe […]

Wimbledon Women: Upsets, Matches, and Mothering

June 29, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 9 Comments

Wimbledon 2010 Week 2 Upsets It’s week 2 of Wimbledon 2010, and I’m enjoying coverage of Venus Williams (of course), and Kim Clijsters, as they each play matches on this day of quarter finals. I’m still getting over the shock of watching Roddick lose to Lu in a four and a half hour five set […]

Moaning and Groaning. COOL Complaint Zoning?

June 28, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 24 Comments

The Complaint Department is Open! But today, I’m also in search of silver linings, if you happen to have any in sight. Mine? Wimbledon Week 2 is here! And that helps everything, even though I missed last week’s incredible 11-hour match with its extraordinary 70-68 fifth set! So here is my contribution to Monday morning […]

Shout Out to French Open 2010 Winners

June 6, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 3 Comments

It’s been a hectic week, but not too hectic for a quick shout out all the same. Here’s to five time French Open winner Rafael Nadal, who took the Grand Slam title earlier today in Paris, beating Sweden’s Robin Soderling, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4. Saturday’s Women’s Final saw powerhouse Australian Samantha Stosur fall to underdog, Francesca […]

It’s hard not to notice a great player, an unusual outfit, and a little slip here or there. But the fact is, Venus Williams and the women at the French Open […]

Countdown to the French Open Day 1

May 23, 2010 by D. A. Wolf 2 Comments

Paris? Tennis? Irresistible combination? OUI! More irresistible than French men? Mmm. Tough one. But we’re counting down. Just hours away now. And what could be better than Paris in the spring, and Grand Slam Tennis? The only thing I can think of is being there – rather than watching on television. But watching I shall […]
